Walmart Life Insurance Is Whole Life, Not Term
Life insurance offered through Walmart is issued by Metropolitan Life and is structured as a whole life insurance policy, not a term life policy. This means the coverage is designed to last your entire lifetime, as long as premiums are paid, and it includes a cash value component that grows over time.

What Makes It Whole Life
Whole life policies guarantee a death benefit to your beneficiaries and build cash value on a tax-deferred basis. The premium amount is typically fixed, and the policy does not expire after a set number of years like a term policy would. Because of this structure, the coverage remains in force for your whole life unless you choose to surrender the policy or stop paying premiums.

Why It Matters for Your Coverage
Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period, such as 20 or 30 years, and generally has lower premiums. Whole life insurance costs more because it combines lifelong protection with a savings element. If you are enrolled in the Walmart program, you should expect the policy to remain active for your entire life, provided premiums are kept current.
How to Confirm Your Policy Details
Review your policy documents or contact Metropolitan Life directly to verify the exact terms. You can also check with the Walmart insurance enrollment team or the provider listed on your benefit materials. Look for language indicating whole life, permanent coverage, or cash value in your policy summary.
